n a move that's as much about tax strategy as it is about sunshine, Bethenny Frankel is putting her Greenwich, Connecticut, home on the market for $8 million. The reality TV star and entrepreneur has been open about her plan to make Florida her primary residence, but she's not quite ready to trade in her East Coast roots entirely.

    Frankel's decision to sell her 1743 Colonial-style house comes as no surprise, given her recent announcement that she'll be spending more time in the Sunshine State. By making Florida her main address, Frankel will join a growing number of wealthy New Yorkers who claim residency there for tax purposes – and to escape the city's high costs.

    But Frankel's personal life has been anything but smooth sailing. Her highly publicized divorce from Jason Hoppy was marked by allegations of harassment, including hundreds of FaceTime calls that left her feeling "terrified." The drama eventually led to a plea deal and a finalized custody agreement in 2021. Now, with her engagement to Paul Bernon having fizzled out last year, Frankel seems ready to start fresh – or at least, as fresh as one can be when moving to a new state.

    As she navigates this next chapter, Frankel will likely face challenges finding the right schools for her 14-year-old daughter, Bryn. With top schools in high demand and limited spots available, securing a spot may prove tougher than winning a volleyball scholarship – although Bryn's athletic prowess might just give her an edge.
